Kinsale Road Roundabout

There is a budget Travelodge hotel just off the Kinsale Road Roundabout

The Kinsale Road Roundabout (Irish: Timpeall Bóthair Chionn tSáile) is a five-arm signalised roundabout in Cork City in Ireland, located approximately 3km south of the city centre at the junction of the N40 South Ring Road and the N27 South City Link/Airport Road.

The South Ring Road was constructed on a phased basis from the late 1980s, with the Kinsale Road Roundabout opening in 1990.[1] With the completion of the downstream crossing of the River Lee, the Jack Lynch Tunnel, there was a marked increase in traffic using the N40, which in turn led to increased delays at the Kinsale Road Roundabout.[2] A flyover (overpass) was therefore built over the roundabout in 2006.[1]
